$76.00 including shipping!! It comes with the horn, a tube adapter to run the intake to a cleaner place if needed, a relay, and single bolt mounting. Stuff I added: right angle bracket (you could probably bend the OEM one and use it), 30 amp fuse, wiring, connectors and spades. It went right where the OEM ones were and I pulled both of those out. The wiring diagrams and instructions are on the box.

I will take some photo's of the install when I get a chance. It definitely isn't as loud as a semi but it has the deep tone and I think any louder and it would be illegal for in-town use. It does 110 db at 2 meters (134db at 4 inches) so you can use that to compare to loudness of other setups. Bear in mind that it is much easier to go louder the higher in frequency you go. However, lower tones penetrate and travel further, i.e., boomy bass from a car at lower db's can be heard inside your home easier.

I'd like to do a side by side comparison now in front of my Tundra and one with the stock setup but I don't know anyone with a Tundra. Maybe I'll go by the dealer and do it. Heck, if isn't loud enough, you could mount two like the stock set-up and still be way ahead on the hassle of compressor install. Again, the tone on the website is exactly what i sounds like in person.

By the way I got to use it for the first time today on a guy who crossed into my lane while he was messing with his cell phone and he just about jumped out of his seat.
